Cataloging videotapes can be problematic when title
screens are not easily examined by the cataloger. This study
investigated using students to gather bibliographic data for
constructing cataloging records. Three forms were designed and
investigated. Results showed that the least effective had the
most explanatory instructions. The most effective required
literal transcription of data from the videotape's title screens.
